Giant SCR C4

Advantages: Toys
Disadvantages: Ride

...and down the box for the power - 5th couldn't pull a fat minger at ten to two in the nightclub, even with the offer of a free kebab first. There is no footrest either - a capital crime in my opinion! Economy on the C4 was rather poor - i did 29.3 mpg with a bit of town driving and mostly motorway. Ok, I was in a rush but the lack of power means you have to rev it. Apparently you can do over 40, but that would be my dad driving. On the whole, I cannot imagine why anyone with the required level of intelligence to walk into the showroom with £14,300 would actually buy this car. It's just so poor compared to the competition - the Focus blows it away. If you want economy, a 1.6TDCi is as powerful and has MUCH more torque, handles better and, although it won't have as many 'toys', they are generally a) useless or b) annoying on the C4 anyway. If...

Advantages: huge play area
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Giants den Huge warehouse on the easily found Team Valley trading Estate, this has been opened a few years now, and is usually busy?one of those places to go to when it's raining and you need something to amuse the kids. The whole area is divided into sections for under 2s, which is basically ball pools and Little vehicles to drive in a specially enclosed area, an area for under 5s, which is more of the same but with some slides and climbing frames added, and then there is the real "I am" things. These include a giant slide 3 storey climbing frame, as many nets and tunnels as you can negotiate, basketball area (there are coaching nights), PS2 and x box areas complete with some of the latest games and a mini village with small road system. Definitely something for everything if nerves can take it!! PARTIES We have. Over... Read review

Advantages: Good styling and plenty of gadgets
Disadvantages: Citroen reputation

...When looking for a car recently I wanted everything and thought I would have to compromise. To my surprise I didn't and I am now the proud owner of this car. Leaving facts and figures aside it's a great looking car, affordable, sporty and packs a turbo diesel punch! It had to be less than £10,000 No more than 3 or 4 years old No more than 20,000 miles on the clock Low fuel consumption Low tax bracket £150 a year max Sporty looks and decent performance Good resale value Plenty of gadgets (I am a bloke after all) Good ride and handling Believe it or not the Citroen C4, specifically the coupe VTS 2.0HDi diesel delivered on all of the above. Citroën has never given buyers in this class a car as good as the C4. The old Xsara - and before that ZX - failed to hit the spot with bland looks and little innovation. But the C4 is... Read review
